In '06 we just cut strips of wedge-top and pop-riveted it onto a PVC roller. The wedge top provided traction while also serving as guides.

One problem with using plastic spacers is that the objects will lose traction as they pass over that point. Might not be a problem.

Or you could use timing belts
